The electronic configuration of Cu is
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d9, 4s2
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s1
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d3, 3d9, 4s2, 4p6
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d5, 4s2, 4p4
Assertion: Cuprous ion (Cu+) is colorless whereas cupric ion (Cu2+) is blue in the aqueous solution.
Reason: Cuprous ion (Cu+) has unpaired electrons while cupric ion (Cu2+) does not.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
The stable bivalency of Pb and trivalencey of Bi is:
due to d contraction in Pb and Bi
due to relativistic contraction of the 6s orbitals of Pb and Bi, leading to inert pair effect
due to screening effect
due to the attainment of noble liquid configuration
B.
due to relativistic contraction of the 6s orbitals of Pb and Bi, leading to inert pair effect
82Pb = ...6s2 6p2
83Bi = ...6s2 6p3
Due to inertness of 6s2 electrons in Pb and Bi, they show bivalency and trivalency respectively instead of tetra and pentavalency.
A magnetic moment of 1.73 BM will be shown by one among the following
[Cu(NH3)4]2+
[Ni(CN)4]2-
TiCl4
[CoCl6]4-
